The founder of the Cold War Museum says he hopes to open next spring at Vint Hill in Fauquier. Gary Powers Jr. says he decided the museum was needed when he found most kids today thought U-2 was a music group, not the spy plane his father was flying when he was shot down by the Russians. Powers says for people 50 years and older, "duck-and-cover" drills were a way of life. He says the museum ensures that the Cold War isn't forgotten. In time, Powers hopes to build a larger facility at Vint Hill to house all his cold war artifacts. Powers says, "You name something from a Cold War event, I have it."
